The role of
nephro pathologist in the teaching of our fellows in training is very critical.
A nephrologist without pathology knowledge is incomplete. ASN has had past
presidents who have been renal pathologists. It shows the major importance of
such individuals in the field of nephrology.
Every year, the renal
pathology society awards a special individual the Jacob
Churg Award and I was so excited to hear that this year’s award went to Dr
Surya Seshan from Weill Cornell Medical Center. The reasons for my excitement
are multiple fold:- She was my guru in pathology component of my nephrology
training days; she is truly an excellent pathologist and a good mentor.
Please have a look at this amazing review by D’Agati in AJKD on the
rise of pathology in nephrology. As we enter a new era in
glomerular diseases, the role of the renal pathologist is strengthened in
nephrology.
